Video summary
The video features a critical examination of testimonies that prioritize personal experience over biblical scripture, specifically addressing claims about demons entering believers through open portals like the eyes or ears. The speaker recounts an interview with a man named Joshua, who shared a dramatic story of deliverance involving fasting, vomiting out spirits, and receiving supernatural dreams and visions. While acknowledging the sincerity and passion in Joshua's testimony, the speaker argues that these experiences are fundamentally unbiblical because they contradict clear scriptural truths. The core argument presented is that Christians, being born of God and filled with the Holy Spirit, cannot be touched or inhabited by demons; therefore, any claim suggesting otherwise relies on subjective feelings rather than divine authority.
A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the danger of interpreting spiritual realities through the lens of personal experience rather than the objective standard of the Bible. The speaker illustrates how the human mind can be easily influenced by media, emotions, and cultural teachings to create false narratives, such as believing one is being attacked by demons when it may simply be a psychological reaction or a misunderstanding. He emphasizes that while Christians can certainly be attacked by demonic forces externally, the idea of internal possession or influence contradicts passages like 1 John 4:4, which states that God in the believer is greater than the evil one. Consequently, the speaker asserts that if a testimony does not align with scripture, it cannot be considered genuine, regardless of how heartfelt or miraculous the individual feels their experience was.
The conclusion of the video serves as a strong warning against relying on deliverance ministries that teach unbiblical concepts, urging believers to stick to the gospel and sound doctrine instead. The speaker challenges viewers to test every spirit and claim against the written word of God, noting that Jesus sets captives free through truth rather than exorcisms performed on believers. He encourages a posture of gentle correction when encountering false teachings, aiming to guide others back to biblical accuracy rather than validating their subjective feelings. Ultimately, the message is a call to humility and adherence to scripture, reminding Christians that their salvation and freedom are secured by Christ's work alone, not by managing internal demonic presences or chasing supernatural experiences that lack scriptural foundation.

So he goes over to Ezekiel's channel.
That video has almost a million views.
The same ridiculous things that he was
saying to me. He said on his video, I
wouldn't watch the video. The same
ridiculous things. And I And I'm giving
this man opportunity to talk. Let's
Okay. Okay. Okay. I hear what you're
saying. Something's off. Something's
off. You know why I know You know why I
believe something was off? Because I
read the Bible. [music]
If you say something that is wrong, you
are going to get a push back. And I'm
going to push back in a cordial fashion.
You all probably don't remember this.
You probably don't remember this. When I
first got out of the hospital, I did a
Q&A and there was a gentleman named
Joshua who loved the supernatural who
came on.
Does anyone remember that? So, I'm going
to actually make this video its own
video, but let me show you some clips
and let me just show you Ezekiel and
other people who have these people on.
So, I'm not against you for having these
people on. I'm against you when you have
them on and you give no push back.
>> And I also heard a testimony from an ex
witch that mentioned that uh those
demons, they can see when you're born.
Some people who have big ministries, who
have a special calling, they have a
light over themselves. And those demons
can see that as soon as you're born and
they will start sometimes even from the
moment that you come into the world to
try to take you out, to destroy you. So
absolutely what you said is 100% truth.
And so I began to do I began to change
everything. Uh and this preacher came to
my church and uh when he prayed for me,
I also felt more deliverance, more uh of
that process being uh manifested. And um
and like I said, I was very excited when
I got these results. And uh something
happened though. Remember how I
mentioned that when I was watching those
fasting testimonies, some people
received dreams and visions?
>> Well, that began to happen with me, too.
And I never dreamed before, maybe once a
year. So when I started to get these
dreams, these spiritual dreams, I began
to remember those testimonies. I
thought, "Okay, maybe these are coming
from the Lord." And I began to research
the topic and listen to ex Satanist, ex-
witches who were experienced in that
realm of dreams and interpretation and
tried to gather as much information so I
could figure out what was happening
because
>> it was a lot of dreams.
>> It was like sometimes five dreams a
night and then 10 dreams a night and
then sometimes 15 dreams a night. all
spiritually based about the rapture,
about the tribulation, about some of the
demonic spirits are going to be
unleashed to torment humanity, about the
battle of Armageddon. I was able to see
that. I saw how the beast um was thrown
into the into the lake of fire and I saw
heaven. God also showed me heaven. Um he
showed me some of the jobs that we'll
have in heaven. He showed me one of the
jobs that I'll have in heaven. He showed
me a dream about the antichrist. And uh
I want to share this real quick if we
have time because I really do think it's
important especially.
>> So he goes over to Ezekiel's channel.
That video has almost a million views.
The same ridiculous things that he was
saying to me. He said on his video I
wouldn't watch the video. The same
ridiculous things. And I I'm giving this
man opportunity to talk. Let's Okay.
Okay. Okay. I hear what you're saying.
Something's off. Something's off. You
know why I know You know why I believe
something was off? Because I read the
Bible. All right. There we go. Josh, can
you hear me? Yeah. Yeah, can you hear
me? I can hear you wonderfully.
Wonderful. Let me just draw my lights.
No, thank you so much for this honor. Uh
I me and my channel have been praying
and fasting for your healing ever since
we found out that you had those medical
issues and I'm so so glad, brother, that
you're feeling much better. Oh, thank
you. I appreciate that.
>> Yeah. And so, no, a few days ago, I just
I caught your live stream and I thought
>> maybe I could, you know, one day share
my testimony on this brother's channel
since I was interviewed a few weeks ago
on another channel and and it was
received pretty well and I thought, let
me let me try to reach out to brother uh
Corey. So, let me ask you this, man. I
don't have a problem with it. Is it can
you can you is it how long is it? Can
you make it concise and quick or not say
quick but concise and not too long?
Well, I probably need like 15 or 20
minutes. I don't know if maybe on
Fridays you do testimonies instead. No,
I would. Can you make it to you? Yeah, I
probably could. Yeah, go ahead. Go
ahead. Well, no. I just want to share
everybody uh what the Lord has done in
my life. Um, basically when I was young,
I went to a church where basically my
mother uh she grew up here in Mexico and
she grew up practicing witchcraft. uh
she had the power of telekinesis and
healing and she made all these demonic
packs with the enemy to be able to
attain these certain supernatural
abilities. But later on when she had me,
she gave all that up because she was
afraid that the demons might, you know,
ask for my life. And so she left that
world. She started going to a Christian
church and she brought me to the USA
with her. There she reconnected with my
father. They got married. But
unfortunately, a man showed up there who
who took advantage of me. We'll just say
like that. And my friends from the
church. And my mother, like I said, she
was a witch. So she had kind of
instilled in me some stuff about
spiritual warfare and told me that
basically you know there were demonic
spirits that had gotten attached to me
that had influence changed my
attractions because before everything
was fine. Uh but once that happened
everything changed and uh fortunately uh
later on you know the man was exposed uh
by one of the other victims. But
unfortunately our pastor actually
protected him. He warned him right
before the police were about to arrest
him. And this gave him enough chance to
buy an airplane ticket and flee the
country. So he moved to Puerto Rico
where he came from and I heard over
there that he did the same thing with
other victims, but this time the parents
found out in Puerto Rico and they
eliminated him. They took action to
their own hands. As far as the pastor,
he later on got very sick and he
committed adultery. He left the church.
He started a new church and got very
very sick and passed away. But it was
just a very difficult situation because
there were other people from the church
that found out that he had these
attractions towards the younger men from
our church and they would see him
hanging out with us only with us, not
really with any other adults and taking
us out to eat and he would bring us to
the beach. He would he was a very good
manipulator. He was a master manipulator
and was able to get the trust of not
just us but also our parents. And but
anyways, later God took me out of that
church, brought me to a new place and I
went to more modern churches where they
were not as strict because I grew up in
a very strict strict strict Christian
Spanish Pentecostal church. So I went to
these modern churches because I wanted a
break. I wanted to see what it was like
and things did not go very well. I
became more spiritually empty and my
best friend who sat next to me at church
ended up scamming me out of my entire
life savings. But God actually used
that. God actually used that to get me
out of those churches and help me to go
back to my mom's church. That's where I
found deliverance. And that's where my
mom taught me about the power of prayer
and fasting. And she told me the
testimony of this one preacher who
actually was dealing with the same
things as me and how he went into a
7-day water fast and God delivered him.
And now he used he's being used by God
powerfully. So that gave me hope, you
know, and that's why I'm here also to
share my testimony to see if it'll give
the brothers and sisters listening hope.
And so I began to pray and fast and I
was delivered after 8 days. On the
eighth day, I vomited out those demonic
spirits and I felt like God had given me
a brain, a brand new brain, like a brain
transplant. And uh I tried to think of
men the same way, but I couldn't. I just
saw them as brothers now. And I was so
happy, so overjoyed. But I forgot about
some of those teachings that I learned
from those people that I watched during
those eight days of fasting. I watched a
lot of YouTubers, ex- witches, ex
Satanist who taught about that demons
can enter us through our eyes and our
ears if we open those portals. And I
opened those portals. I ignored their
advice. And those demons came back and I
fell into adult videos into that sin.
And at that point, I was very depressed.
And I began to change my petitions
because now I found out that there is
power in prayer and fasting. So I
decided to ask God for just one petition
for him to take me out of this world
through a car accident, through a heart
attack. I didn't want to be alive
anymore. And um so I did that. I even
got a $300,000 life insurance policy so
my mom would get the money and she could
use it to help other people so that
something good would come out of my life
for once cuz I didn't feel like my life
had been worth anything. But the Lord
ended up restoring me again, delivering
me again. And then he spoke to me and
told me that he wanted to use me to help
other people all over the world who were
dealing with the same issues as myself,
not just with attractions, but also
addictions to these certain xxx videos
and depression. I'd always dealt with
depression. And so I began I wrote a
book and I began to seek him and I kept
on praying every single day. But I
changed my petition. I said, "Okay, I
don't want to leave this world anymore.
So let's just erase that petition, Lord,
and I want you to use me to reach
millions of people and to share what you
have done and to tell them that prayer
and fasting does work." Even Jesus said,
you know, his disciples, these demons
don't come out with unless with prayer
and fasting. There are certain spirits
that are more stronger, more powerful,
more stubborn, and you need more
authority to be able to cast them out.
And that's only obtained through prayer
and fasting. As my mother also told me,
and seeing as how she was a witch, and
she made all these demonic packs with
demons and even faced Satan himself, I
knew I could take her advice at heart.
And so, I wrote a book about the
experience because a lot of supernatural
things began to happen. A lot. Uh God
began to speak to me through dreams and
visions and showed me the future. Showed
me dreams about heaven, about the
antichrist, about the rapture, about
different demons that people had near me
in my church, my friends, co-workers. So
many things, so many supernatural
encounters. And demons actually went to
my bedroom and would try to choke me out
when I first began to pray and fast. The
same thing happened to a friend of mine.
Whenever sometimes things can happen
when you start to seek the Lord more,
those demons will start attacking you
physically. And um so anyway, so then I
wrote a book about the experience, about
all those teachings. And it's free on my
website, authorosegoutier.com.
And I also sent people the free PDF file
if they email me. I'm happy. I'm not
about for the money. And uh I opened up
a YouTube channel. I moved to Mexico in
December of 2023. I quit my job.
Everybody thought it was crazy, but I
thought, "No, I want to go into the
ministry." And so I had enough savings
where I can move to Mexico for a year
and open a YouTube channel. By God's
grace, you know, he backed me up and I
started interviewing people. Some of
those videos went viral with over a
million views. And uh and God has
brought over 100,000 subscribers. And I
just recently did a video um an
interview on We Need to Talk. And by
God's grace, that went viral as well.
And now an extra 10,000 people have
joined the prayer and fasting chain that
I'm organizing. And basically every day
I'm praying and fasting for all the
petitions that people sent to me. I just
eat one meal uh at night. And I'll be
doing this every day for 2026 and 2027.
And so if there's anybody who has any
prayer requests, write them down in this
chat or in the comment section. And let
me ask a question. So let let me ask you
a question. And I'm grateful for uh any
sort of deliverance um that has
occurred. There are some things that you
said though um that are more on the line
of experience and even expectations uh
than biblical. And so it's possible
because guess what? There are people who
have testimonies um that range that that
that that go throughout the entire gamut
of different sort of explanations and
feelings and experiences and so forth.
There are those who will who will have a
testimony regarding um uh some sort of
deliverance or some sort of action that
happened that doesn't comport with
scriptures but it's it's based upon what
they have had experiences with um
outside. So like when Paul says in 1
Corinthians 12, he says that uh you know
how when you were pagans uh led away by
mute idols and Paul is is admonishing
them because what they're doing is they
were bringing in their outside religious
experience or outside experiences and
using that to interpret uh something
spiritual or something biblical. So we
don't have any example in the Bible. As
a matter of fact, the Bible's clear that
if a person has has the Holy Spirit in
them, they cannot be they cannot be
touched by a demon. As a matter of fact,
John literally says that they they
cannot be touched. They cannot inhabit.
they cannot live. They cannot dwell. Uh
do we believe in demons? Sure. We don't
believe in demons in Christians. And so
I would say that the testimony in order
for a testimony to be a true genuine
testimony, no matter how heartfelt it
is, no matter how much a person feels
they experienced it, if it does not line
up with scriptures, it's not a
testimony. It's not it's not it's not
biblical. Does that make sense?
>> Yeah. I know that some people feel that
way, but uh in my past experience and
also I'll share one experience with a
friend of mine from church. Well, wait a
minute wait. Did you just say though?
You said in my past experience, right? A
friend of mine got possessed in my
church and she was a faithful Christian.
And how do you know?
>> Because she tried to choke our youth
pastor. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. How
do you know she was a faithful
Christian?
>> You don't Well, she went with us every
church service and went to our night
watches and prayed with us and fed with
meaning because she went to church
faithfully, gave her tithes and offering
and did this and sang and danced that
that made her a Christian. So, this is
what I said. If you take the
experiences, no matter how real they
felt because Paul, as he's admonishing
them in 1 Corinthians 14, he says, "You
do have a zeal." As a matter of fact, he
even said that to about the Jews. You
have a zeal, but not according
knowledge. So, if what you're saying
doesn't line up with scripture, can it
be true?
I believe that this is I this is a topic
that has been a controversy with the
church that demons cannot have demons,
that Christians can have demons. But I
have seen this for myself. I've
experienced.
>> Have you seen it in the scripture
though?
>> In the scriptures? Mhm. There were
people who have demons. Yeah.
>> Were there any Was there anyone in the
Bible who had the spirit in them and
also had a demon?
>> I don't know if they had the I would
have to go in my book. I did mention
there are certain people in the Bible
that were demonized. But were there was
there anybody in the Bible who had the
spirit in them who had a demon?
>> The answer is no. Not one.
>> And but like I said, see, it has to be
and and again, I'm not I'm not trying to
nullify your your testimony. I promise
you I'm not. But what I want people to
do is to not look at the Bible through
the lens of their experiences. Look at
your experiences through the lens of the
Bible. You can be fooled. There's no if
ends but buts about it. The your head,
your brain can conjure up all sorts of
thoughts. You can sit and watch Game of
Thrones, The Walking Dead, uh Little
House on the Prairie, uh Andy Griffith,
and the next thing you know, you got
these wild crazy dreams where Barney Fe
is riding on a dragon burning up
zombies. And because you are so in tune
with trying to hear from the Lord and
you have been so inundated with the with
teachings and hearing about the demonic
that must be the Lord sharing or a demon
is talking to me or I've got these
monitoring spirits or anguish and suck
things that the Bible doesn't speak
about. So they're unbiblical but because
what I've been taught is what I import
into my belief and I interpret
everything from that lens versus the
scripture. So the Bible is clear that as
a matter of fact, let me put on the
screen. I want you to read this. I want
to throw on the screen uh first John
verse uh five and we're going to see
that the Bible says that you cannot be
touched by the evil one. He says I think
it's verse 18. We know that no one look
at the look at the screen. We know that
no one who is born of God let's just
pause right there for a second. Born of
God means they're a believer. They have
the Holy Spirit in them. Right? Would
you agree? Yes. Okay. So he says that we
know that no one nobody who has been
born of God that person that person does
not sin not living in sin but he who was
born of God again saying Christians
whoever the believer is he says God
keeps him and look what it says this is
the part I'm going to highlight this I
want you to see that can you see what
that says yes the evil one does not
touch them so I can't come back and say
the evil one does touch him he just told
us the evil one does not touch us but I
don't think demons have the ability the
power to influence our thoughts because
I do and I've experienced that before
and other people have as I've talked to
so many other, you know, people in
deliverance ministries and demons do
have the power to influence our thoughts
and our behavior. Who told you that?
What scripture? I have lived through it,
brother. I'm not care. Listen, listen,
listen. What you what you experience, if
you interpret that as this doesn't mean
it's so what scripture tells you that
demons can influence our thoughts. There
is not a scripture further that then why
would you Okay, so now let me put a text
up. Paul says, I do not want you to
exceed what is written. Do not exceed
what is written. Don't start taking
texts that aren't there and put it
putting it in there. How about what he
says in 1 John chapter 4? He says,
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit,"
which seems like what you're doing.
You're believing every spirit, but test
to see whether the spirit test to see
whether they come from God. Many false
prophets have gone through. Now, let's
drop down a little bit and I want you to
let's look at this text. He says, "For
you are from God." Now, you would agree
that you are from God would be the
person who is saved, right? We are of
God. Look what he says. You are from
God, little children, and have overcome
the world. That would include demons,
right? Then he goes on and says this
powerful passage here. Greater is he who
is in you. Let's pause. Who's the he in
your opinion that's in you? Who would
you say that is?
>> The Holy Spirit. So greater is he the
Holy Spirit that's in you or God. Same
one than than he who is in the world,
which would be the enemy. Now, according
to this text, where is the enemy? In the
world, outside of you, not inside of
you. Those are the truths that you need
to rely on. Now, and I've dealt with the
demonic. I've dealt with folks who had
demons. I've dealt with the worst kinds
of demons. Trust me, do what were they
Christian or non-believers? They were
non-believers. There cannot be a demon
that's that's a that's a Christian. That
cannot there be can there be a Christian
who is being demonically influenced or
oppressed by demons. There can be a
Christian who's being attacked by
demons. That that goes without question.
But they can't be on the inside. They
have no control over you.
>> They just do not. What happens is if I
think they do, then I'll act like they
do. It's like this. If a man, let's say
a woman and a man, they're married and
she thinks he's cheating. She just,
she's made up her mind that he's
cheating, what is she going to see in
all of his actions?
Behaviors of a cheater. Yeah, he went to
the store and took five extra minutes.
Why has he gone so long? She saw a
number on his cell phone that she
remember that she didn't know who called
him and who's he calling the make.
Listen, the mind is an easy thing to
change. I won't do it this time, but
I've done this before where we're sit
and we're telling people we'll just give
something kind of in rhyme. Hop lop blop
and I'll say repeat ite blop. They'll
say hop blah blah. Knock pot rock.
They'll say knock top rock. And then
I'll say what do you do with a green
light? They'll say stop. No you don't.
Because the mind is easy to control. You
go to McDonald's, you go to Burger King,
you go to this place cuz because someone
has inundated your mind with I think
that'd be good. I think that would be
good. But that's not so. If you want
something to be, you can make it be. You
can you can do it. Uh we've had
thoughts. We've had desires that have
betrayed us. I I love this person. I
want to move there. I want this job. I'd
like this car. And we've been wrong. The
mind is wrong. That's why we don't
That's why the Bible says not to exceed
what is written. That's why when you
look at the text in every single
deliverance ministry, they do not like
what I teach because they can't refute
it. I It's not me, it's the Bible. They
have built an empire on teaching people
that you can be demonized. Why? Because
if you can be demonized, you know what
you can do? You can come to one of us to
have the demon cast out. You can buy our
book. You can come to our conference.
Where in the Bible did did did we see
Jesus, Peter, Paul, James, John,
whomever casting demons out of
Christians? Matter of fact, by the way,
we never see any one time them casting
demons in a mass deliverance section
session, but we've never seen them do so
with a believer. So, you've got to adopt
the scripture. So when I've dealt with
the people, when I say people who are
who who do have demons, when I say some
some demonic people that you will never
want to meet, including the person who
may have done what they did to you, I've
seen worse. Been around worse because I
was locked up in in the worst prison,
the worst federal prison in America.
I've been around the worst of the worst.
You talk about someone that has um two
children chained up in their basement
and seeking and putting together these
devices, transport them across uh uh
across state lines. Oh, I've seen it.
I've seen people who will just because
I'll just throw some hot boiling grease
on someone just to see what happens.
I've seen someone who is in the TV room,
this one I always talk about about the
person who's literally pulling his skin
and his eyebrows out and his hair out in
front and he's got the entire uh TV room
freaked out. And you know what comes as
a result of what we did? True
deliverance and the person is full of
the spirit and not ever having to worry
about a demon.
Stay away from deliverance ministries.
Stay away from deliverance ministers.
Stick to people who preach the gospel.
You know why? Because in the Bible, the
very word for sotyion is deliverance.
Jesus says, "I've come to set the
captives free." Jesus says in John 8, do
you know what John 8:36 says?
>> Breaking up
with your testimony. You should know
this. You have to know this. Jesus says,
"For whom the son sets free is what?"
Free indeed. Free indeed. The word is
antos. Thoroughly free. It's like we say
for real. For real. Really, really free.
Definitely free. in the in the old south
show for real they are free you cannot
be a believer in Christ full of the Holy
Spirit a regenerated heart and then also
be inundated and attacked by demons one
we don't have an example and we have
scriptures to refute that so I'm going
to challenge you to do this I'm going to
challenge you to do this that is if
you're serious about the word of God and
you're serious about your testimony I
would I would ask you to go back and
pray and then to read your testimony is
not a testimony if it doesn't line up
with Christ or with the scriptures it's
just not it's you and your opinion. It
might as well be a fancful story or or a
uh fantasy book. If it lines up with
scripture, amen. If your if any part of
your testimony is not biblical, by
definition, it's unbiblical and it
should not be received by the masses.
And I'm not trying to be mean or or or
harsh or heartless. I I really am not.
And I can promise you there are people
who will promote that. Paul says uh the
time will come when people will not deal
will not endure sound doctrine. But they
will have they will find for themselves
people to tell them what they want to
hear. You mean my problems are demon?
You mean to tell me my problems are a
generational curse. Both those things
are are unbiblical for a Christian. All
of those things they're not found in the
text. So when you do that, and I
understand it's it I felt that. I
experienced that. Your experiences never
matter compared to the word of God. Just
like your truth doesn't matter. Just
like what you felt, none of those things
matter. And I don't I don't want toh
break your break your confidence like
that. Whatever. I'm not trying to be
harsh. I'm not trying to be mean. But
we've got to be biblical more than
anything else. And so I've got to give
you the truth of the scriptures. Amen. I
appreciate your honesty and um I've seen
the way you've dealt with other
Christian YouTubers and there's been
disagreements and I like the way that in
spite of disagreements you've managed to
be respectful and you know you said with
Ebenego you still keep in contact with
them and I appreciate that and I
appreciate what you said. Um
but like I said I I stand by what I went
through. I stand by that. I do feel that
I went through a deliverance process
that there were demonic spirits inside
me and I've listened to other
deliverance deliverance ministers who
have come to my church and listen to all
the experiences I've had and I still
understand that we can open up doors
sometimes through sins that can open up
portals for these demonic spirits to get
attached to able to influence.
>> See, when you when you say we can open
up portals, do you have a scripture says
that we can open up portals?
>> I understand where you're coming from. I
do. And I appreciate everything that
you've said to me. I appreciate
everything you've done for the body of
Christ. And I appreciate the fact that
you allowed me to come here and share my
story. And um and again, we'll be
praying and fasting for God to keep on
helping you and your family and to bring
even more physical healing. And and I
love you, brother in Christ. I love you
and I love all the brethren here. Uh and
I really I'll continue watching your
videos because I do feel that
>> I do see the love that you have for God.
I do see the zealousness and the passion
and the desire to be obedient to his
word and to go by everything that the
word has established for us to go by
him. And I appreciate that. Let me ask
you a question before you go. Before you
go, I've got to run quickly, but let me
ask you a question before you go.
If you Josh Josh Josh Josh Josh Josh
Josh Josh Josh Josh Josh Josh Josh Josh
Josh Josh Joshua died at this very
moment do you are you 100% sure where
you would go to spend eternity
>> yes
>> where heaven how do you know I have
faith I have faith I've g my life over
to him I love him with everything that I
have
>> how do and how do you know you love him
how do you know you gave your life to
him I have the Holy Spirit inside me
>> how do you know
>> because ever since I invited him in life
has not been the same how do you know
that how you know that's the Holy Spirit
how do you know that you are saved
there are some things
Because I know I feel the difference
between when I was in the world and when
I came to God. I feel the difference. I
feel that love. I feel that purity, that
holiness, that anointing, that power
that only the Holy Spirit can give.
>> I can find I can find Jehovah's
Witnesses. I can find Mormons. I can
find people in different cults who will
say the exact same thing. Joshua, you're
writing books. You're having speaking
engagement things like that or whatever.
How do you know that you are in Christ?
Because I've accepted him as my Lord and
Savior and I'm doing my best every day
to Okay. So now let me ask you another
question. How does a person know? Not
you. How how would a person know? I want
to be saved. Joshua, what can I do to be
saved? You say what? Accept Jesus as
your Lord and Savior. Believe that he
gave his life for you and rose on the
third day and follow him. Read the
scriptures. Pray, fast, seek him. Deny
yourself and try to live in holiness. So
what you do is a person when when
someone ask me this, well I have I have
entrusted my life into what Christ did
which was to pay a debt for me that I
could not pay. uh and I'm undeserving
and I am in a place to where I recognize
how falling I am and because of what
Christ has done. I place my faith in
that and I love him. And you said you
made a statement. You said you said you
follow him. You cannot follow him Joshua
without following his word. You cannot
follow him by supplanting his word with
experience. And so I just want I just
want to put this in your ear um so that
it gives you something to kind of to
kind of think about and chew on. Amen.
>> Yes. He's giving me a lot to think
about. Thank you so much. Listen up.
>> I'm sorry. Go ahead. No, thank you to
you and thank you everybody for watching
and um yes I'm praying for you and your
ministry for God to keep on using you
because I know you do love the Lord. I I
do know that very much. Thank you. I
appreciate that. All right, brother.
I've got I got to go ahead and move.
This has been a wonderful conversation.
You take care, brother. God bless you.
All right. His whole issue is all
everything experiential. Let's go back
over to By the way, Ezekiel, that's how
you deal with it. Marcus, that's how you
deal with it. If anyone, by the way, if
you call yourself a pastor, it's pastor
teacher. So, you're always in teaching
mode. So when you hear because you're
also shephering when you hear someone
say something that is not biblical, that
is not accurate. If you want to have a
shepherd's heart, you also want to have
a teacher's heart and a teacher's ear.
And you want to gently or sometimes
firmly guide them back to truth. Guide
them back to the proper posture. Not
just letting them run and I think I felt
I know what I experienced. That's what
you do. [music]
